to the 95th Share Your Style party and to the most wonderful time of the year! Thank you for so generously sharing your inspiration and time with us. When you join the party your link is added to five different blogs, so lots of exposure. Remember to please share our link in your post somewhere so others can find us. Me, Lynn aka The Vintage Nest, is your host today. I have the privilege of choosing the featured posts this week. So let's go. Happy Party.

Everyday Living sets a gorgeous holiday tablescape, elegant and rustic with a touch of whimsy. Adore those "woody"plates.

It's cookie gift giving season and cookie exchange parties too. I went to at least two cookie parties every Christmas when my boys were school age and just loved them. Paula of

My goodness, how decadent and festive are these Peppermint Oreo Truffles. Easy to make and presented to us by the blog All Because She Saved.

Debra of Common Ground has put together a delightful vignette, just by using simple Christmas items she has gathered. So much more charming than just having each piece sitting as a single. Don't you think? Love that tartan box.

And lastly Shannon of Belle Bleu Interiorsshows us her 2016 mantel. I adore this. I am seeing more and more prints and paintings of Santa and the holidays incorporated into the décor and I think it is just charming.

Thank you so much for joining us and if you were featured, we would love for you to grab the feature button for your blog. Until next time....... The Share Your Style group

Christmas Home TourSeries put together by my sweet friend Marty from the blog A Stroll Thru Life. Yesterday.s tours ended showcasing Jennifer's beautiful home over at Decorating Delirium. If you haven't seen her tour it is simply a must along with all the other tours which have been posted thus far. And remember there are still two more days in this home tour series, that means ten more homes to visit after today.

So without any further ado, here is our 2016 Christmas tour.

As usual, I typically start with the entry to our home. Notice anything different? That's right...we finally have a new banister on our staircase leading upstairs. Mr. Rosemary Lane put up the new banister just this September. It is still not totally complete as I would like another railing to lead down from the landing to the floor, but hey it took 14 years to get this much done so for that I am thrilled!

I am such a sucker for florals too.

I decided to make my own fresh garland to adorn the new entryway feature. In a later post will share with you how I made the garland AND how to keep those live greens looking fresh all through the holiday season, .

Next it is on into the living room which is quickly becoming my favorite room during the winter months. This year I kept the bright yellow shag pillows from the fall and added blue and green tartan plaid pillows I purchased at Home Goods.

The tree also took on plaid in the way of ribbon and for the first time in, and I am talking decades, I put tinsel on our tree. Found it over at Hobby Lobby for just under 2 dollars a pack.

The mantel has a much more simplistic feel than it has in the past. The dark blue from the pillows is carried onto the mantel using a couple ginger jars. More fresh greens above the mirror and a few Christmas balls on the mantel are added for a festive feel.

Now on to the kitchen for my other big reveal...do you notice anything new???

Ding ding ding ding...you got it right again! Finally my new pendent lights above the center island are installed! And can I tell you how much I love love love them!

The greens on the top of our hutch are mixed in with a faux holly garland I picked up on clearance at a little gift shop near me a few years back.

And of course my vintage skis made their way back into the kitchen. Still can't believe I snagged them at a yard sale for only $15.

I really enjoyed getting the kitchen ready for Christmas this year. The gray walls with white bead board made it easy to incorporate a festive red into the room's decor.

And so this finishes up my 2016 Christmas tour of 21 Rosemary Lane. I sure hope you are enjoying this week of home tours. I have been so enthralled with checking out all the fabulous homes on this tour that I have begun to neglect finishing up my Christmas shopping. Bad mama!!

Next on the tour is Linzy & Co. so be sure to hop on over to see what Linzy has put together this year in her home for the holidays!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Share Your Style Link Party! Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving last week. Can't believe we are now full swing into my favorite holiday of the year...Christmas. This week your party host is me, Barbara from 21 Rosemary Lane.

Remember when you link up to share all of your fabulous posts, they are seen on not one but all five of our blogs!

Last week's party had so many wonderful links that I had a really hard time narrowing down just a few to feature. So without any further ado, here are...

First up is this amazing bedroom all decked out for the Christmas season. I mean really this room just screams Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much to Pam from the blogEveryday Living for sharing this beautiful room with us.

Ashley from Simply Designing created a darling Christmas ornament display. So clever and so pretty!

I love homemade gifts and these DIY peppermint bath bombs from Food Fun Family would be the perfect stocking stuffer for just about anyone who enjoys peppermint!

Another handmade item is an idea I have been wanting to try for a few years now. Diana over at Dreams Factory shared with us how to make these pretty rosemary Christmas wreaths.

And while you are making these little wreaths you can sip on some peppermint hot chocolate. This recipe was linked up by Kim from the blog (love this name) Cravings of a Lunatic. Doesn't it look simply scrumptious?

And those are this week's featured links. If you have been featured please be sure to grab our cute little feature button to proudly display on your blog.

It would be greatly appreciated if you'd kindly include a link back to this week's Share Your Style party somewhere in the post you link up. Also be sure to visit other party goers so to make some new bloggy friends.
